Evaluating conversational agents (CA) that are supposed to be applied in healthcare and ensuring their quality is essential to avoid patient harm. However, most researchers only study usability and use the CA in clinical trials before conducting such careful evaluation. In previous work, consensus on metrics for evaluating healthcare CA have been found. However, the metrics are still too generic to form an evaluation framework. In this work, we try to link the ISO technical specification ISO/TS 82304-2 Quality Requirements for Health and Wellness Apps to the set of metrics to come a step closer towards an evaluation framework. We identify three links between ISO requirements and the set of metrics, namely accessibility, usability, and security. Although the technical specification rather lists aspects to be considered during development instead of concrete metrics for studying the quality, we can link to some aspects that are also of interest for health CA evaluation. For example, measuring the readability for ensuring accessibility or implementing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are two aspects of relevance for health CA.
